Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims at constructing a virtual city model which enables the reproduction of social phenomena with an emphasis on human behaviors in a living space and the reflection of map information, and also providing a comprehensive environment to enable large-scale urban simulations. By applying the published statistic data and geographic data, this work provides an environment for constructing virtual cities for urban simulation. Based on this environment, we could evaluate relevant policies and implementations by doing simulation in variant fields, such as influenza epidemiology, urban planning and health crisis management. In future work, we expect to apply and extend this work to large-scale simulation techniques for experimenting multiple simulations simultaneously.
